I read a lot in this forum and considered that the tools are there, lead and cartridge cases too and ignorance as well, I came to the conclusion that the only thing that does not abound is money.
I have ascertained that the cloaks can be obtained from the cartridges of the 45 ACP, I have tried with the dies that I have if I could close the apex of the cartridge case, EUREKA !!!
While for the 45 ACP you can use the cloaks of the 40 and pass them step by step in the dies of 243 and 308, in my case I found the dies of 6.5x68.
Initially I tried with empty casings and then I adapted a LEE bottom plate to accommodate them and ensure that the apex of the mantle came into contact with the upper plate of the mold, therefore, once put into the casings and waited 5 seconds for it warmed up, I poured lead.
The result is satisfactory, but I would like to make lead cores and push them into the case and then close it, maybe there will be a little more effort .. but it's all to be seen.
On the left ball obtained from the weight of 365 gn, on the right 400 gn Speer bullet
This time, instead of filling the already formed cases, I filled them still to be formed and put them on the edge of the furnace for a few minutes.
Then I passed them in the dies of the 6.5x68 and subsequently resizing.
I increased the weight from 365 to 392.
